Dinglewood Historic District

The Dinglewood Historic District is a small, residential neighborhood comprising the c. 1859 Dinglewood house; early 20th-century residences; a privately owned, central, circular park; and a city-owned park. The district developed around Dinglewood, a two-story, Italianate-style house designed by Columbus architects Barringer and Morton for Colonel Joel Early Hurt. The 30-acre (120,000 m2) estate was subdivided in the early 20th century, and sixteen houses were constructed between 1917 and 1951. Common house styles in the district include Georgian, Bungalow, Ranch, Colonial Revival, English Vernacular Revival, and Spanish Colonial Revival. [4] [5]

Colonial Revival architecture in the district includes two works by Columbus architect John C. Martin, Jr.: a c.1924 two-story, brick, Georgian-type house at 1510 East Dinglewood Drive (see accompanying photo #9) and c.1928 house at 1427 West Dinglewood Drive and was built (photo #13). The first of those has a symmetric facade and a one-story half-round porch with fluted columns and an entrance with fanlight, gable returns and modillions. The second is asymmetric and has pilasters and a doorway with a broken pediment. Another Colonial Revival house is a c. 1917 Georgian house at 1108 Dinglewood Drive (photo #2); it has Doric columns on its porch and has a porte cochere. [4] :5
